🌿 A twelve-week guided return to yourself — to the wisdom, clarity, and strength that have always lived in you… even if life has layered over them with responsibilities, expectations, and noise.

​

Most people don’t need fixing.

They need space.

Support.

Reminders.

​

And someone walking beside them while they reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve been too busy to hear.

​

That’s what this journey is:

​

Not a reinvention — a remembering.

A remembering of what your body knows.

A remembering of what your heart has whispered for years.

A remembering of the purpose you came into this lifetime with — the part you haven’t fully connected with yet, but you can finally return to now.

This is the kind of work you’re not meant to do alone.

​

So, what does it look like?

​

We do it gently, with structure, in community, and in moments that feel like pure magic:

 

• Six weeks of preparation, where you begin creating inner space and clarity.

• One sacred week in Costa Rica, held by nature, the new moon, and a landscape that awakens what’s been dormant.

• Five weeks of integration, where what you discover becomes lived truth instead of a temporary experience.

​

This is a guided realignment with your own inner compass — not perfection, not pressure.

Just support, clarity, connection, and the steady unfolding of who you’re becoming next.

A journey back to yourself — with someone in your corner the whole way.

​

Introducing ... The S.A.G.E. Program

Soul-Aligned Growth & Embodiment

​

​

A 12-week journey designed to bring you into clarity, renewal, and embodied transformation — rooted in nature, community, and conscious expansion.

​

SAGE is the heart of this experience.

It’s the bridge between who you’ve been… and who you are becoming.

It unfolds in three intentional phases, each one activating deeper alignment, emotional healing, and personal power.

​

SAGE isn’t simply a program —

it’s a portal and a pathway back to your true self.

Perfect for souls who feel the whisper that life is offering them something deeper… more aligned, more awake, more meaningful.

​

For the first time, we are offering the SAGE Path — a deeply intentional experience infused with:

 

• insight

• community

• embodied wisdom

• the power of nature

• and the safety to finally choose yourself

This is the container where people come to remember who they truly are —

and take their next step from that place.

​

What walking the SAGE path really is about:

​

SAGE is a three-phase transformation built to awaken clarity, confidence, purpose, and inner trust.

​

PHASE 1 — The Awakening (Weeks 1–6, Online)

Starting March 2, 2026

​

Weekly 2-hour group sessions designed to help you:

​

• Clear old patterns that no longer belong in your next chapter

• Understand your emotional landscape with compassion and mastery

• Learn tools such as EFT, HeartMath, breathwork, and energetic awareness

• Reconnect to your intuition and inner wisdom

• Identify what your heart wants next — and what is ready to be released

• Build safe, real friendships before stepping on the plane

These gatherings will be held in MST via Zoom. Time to be announced.

This phase gathers your scattered pieces and calls them home.

By the time you arrive to Costa Rica… you know exactly why you’re coming.

​

PHASE 2 — The Immersion (Week 7, In-Person Retreat in Costa Rica)

Held at Mango Valley Hotel — our FIRST EVER retreat. April 20-26, 2025

​

You’ll step into the lush hills north of Grecia, surrounded by:

​

• fruit trees (bananas, oranges, mangos, pineapples)

• yellow-breasted toucans, green parrots, red cardinals, hummingbirds

• multi-level paths leading to a flowing river and gentle waterfalls

• misty mornings, warm sun, dark-sky nights where stars feel close enough to touch

During this sacred week, you will move through:

• Shamanic drum circles

• Reiki & energetic alignment

• Movement sessions for emotional release

• EFT tapping

• Meditation in nature

• Sound-water moonlight baths

• Fire-pit reflection circles

• Poás Volcano excursions

• La Paz or Bajos del Toro waterfall journeys

• Coffee plantation tours

• Stillness, silence, laughter, sunrise coffee, and personal clarity

​

The newly renovated saltwater pool, structured water, and vegetarian detox-supportive meals amplify your inner work.

​

This is the week your internal lights switch back on.

The week you feel the truth of who you’re becoming.

And the week you fall in love with your life again.

​

PHASE 3 — Integration (Weeks 8–12, Online)

Integration is where transformation becomes permanent.

​

For 5 more weeks after the retreat, we gather online to:

​

• Anchor your insights into daily life

• Maintain the consistency of your practices

• Keep the community alive and supportive

• Break through the old patterns that try to return

• Create individualized next-step plans for your new chapter

• Hold you accountable with compassion, not pressure

 

This is where everything “clicks” —

where you realize:

​

This wasn’t a trip.

This was the beginning of my next life.

​

​

​

​

 

Why SAGE Works

​

Because it speaks to every part of you:

​

• The mind craving clarity

• The body longing for regulation

• The heart hungry for connection

• The spirit ready to ignite

​

Most programs give insights.

SAGE gives embodiment, experience, and integration —

the rare combination that actually transforms a person from the inside out.

​

Who SAGE Is For

People who feel:

​

• “I’m ready for something different, but I don’t know what.”

• “I’ve spent years giving — now it’s time to receive.”

• “I can’t go into my next chapter unclear or disconnected.”

• “I want community, but not noise. Depth.”

• “I want a healthier mind, steadier emotions, clearer direction.”

And especially those in transitional seasons —

midlife, career shifts, identity shifts, spiritual awakenings, emotional healing, or life reevaluation.

​

Why People Say Yes (Even When They’re Nervous)

​

Because SAGE removes the most common objections with care and psychology:

“What if it’s not the right time?”

SAGE is designed for people in transition — clarity creates the right time.

“What if I don’t know anyone?”

You’ll know your group for 6 weeks before you even arrive.

“What if I’m not spiritual enough?”
 

SAGE meets you exactly where you are — not where you think you should be.

“What if it’s selfish?”

Self-abandonment is expensive.

Self-investment is wise.

SAGE teaches you the difference.

“What if I change too much?

”

Then the program worked.

And you become the version of you that was waiting all along.

​

Final thoughts

SAGE is a sacred beginning.

A homecoming.

A reclamation.

​

A turning point in your story.

​

You are not joining a program — you are joining a movement of awakening humans choosing joy, clarity, and self-honoring as a way of life.

​

And because this is our FIRST retreat…

your presence becomes part of our history,

our legacy,

and our dream taking its first breath.

​

When you join SAGE, you help bring Mango Valley’s purpose to life —and we help bring yours to life.

​

If your spirit feels the pull…it is meant for you.

​

​

Payment Plans & Commitment Policy (Max 12 Participants)

​

​

• $3,333 CAD per person for the first-ever Mango Valley program launch

Payment Plan Options

​

We offer a simple, clear payment structure designed to support commitment while also making the journey accessible:

​

Option 1 — Pay in Full

A single payment for your chosen investment secures your place immediately and lets you relax.

 

Option 2 — 3-Part Payment Plan

Energetic Integrity Policy

​

This journey is designed for those who feel ready.

Ready to expand.

Ready to heal.

Ready to say yes to themselves in a way they may never have before.

​

By enrolling, you’re not just signing up for a retreat — you are stepping into a soul-level commitment with yourself, with the group, and with the transformation already unfolding.

​

Why Coming With Someone You Love Deepens the Experience

​

When you attend this retreat with a friend, partner, sibling, or adult child, you’re not just sharing a room — you’re strengthening your support system.

​

Transformation becomes easier when your nervous system feels safe.

Healing becomes deeper when someone you trust is by your side.

​

And integration becomes more natural when your growth is witnessed, understood, and reinforced long after you return home.

​

Saying yes together means:

​

You’ll keep each other accountable during the 6 weeks of online clarity sessions

 

You’ll encourage one another during the retreat’s deeper practices

​

You’ll carry the insights home as a shared language, a shared memory, a shared evolution

 

You’ll build connection and softness in your relationship

 

You’ll strengthen your long-term support system for the next chapter of your life

 

And with the special paired investment of $5,555 CAD for two people, it becomes a journey you can grow through — together.

Meet Annie

​

A guide for the soul. A grounded professional. A woman walking the path with you.

Annie is the founder of The Energy Medicine Clinic and the creator of the SAGE Program—a transformational journey designed to awaken clarity, restore emotional balance, and reconnect people to their deepest inner wisdom.

​

For over thirty years, she has supported individuals through energy medicine, intuitive healing, somatic practices, and mind-body integration. Annie has facilitated multiple retreats in Costa Rica and across Canada, holding space for groups with a rare blend of compassion, insight, and grounded presence.

She is also in the final stages of completing her Master of Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.

While she is not practicing as a psychologist or offering clinical counselling within this program, her graduate training deepens the safety and trauma-informed awareness she brings to her intuitive and holistic work. Her background spans Reiki, EFT, energy medicine, sound healing, intuitive mentorship, and holistic emotional wellness.

​

What people love most about Annie is her ability to see the soul behind the story—

To create safety, to evoke truth, and to help others reclaim the parts of themselves they thought were lost.

​

This retreat is the fulfillment of a lifelong vision:

​

To create a sanctuary where people can transform gently, deeply, and together.

If your spirit feels drawn here, Annie is ready to welcome you—

with warmth, authenticity, and the kind of presence that invites real change.

​

Extending Your Stay at Mango Valley

​

(Arrive early, stay after, or both — at preferred retreat-guest rates)

​

Your nervous system does best when it’s not rushed.

Your body unwinds more deeply when it’s given space.

​

And your retreat experience becomes more powerful when you gift yourself time to transition gently in and out of it.

​

Because of this, you are welcome to arrive before or stay after the retreat week as space permits.

 

Arriving Early

​

Travel can be tiring — especially when crossing time zones or landing late at night.

​

To support a smooth transition, we recommend arriving a day early, allowing you to:

Rest and reset after your flight

Adjust to the Costa Rican rhythm

Begin grounding into the mountains, mist, birdsong, and slower pace

Start the retreat feeling nourished instead of rushed

​

If Your Flight Arrives Near Midnight

​

You may also consider staying at the Holiday Inn by the Juan Santamaría Airport (breakfast + outdoor pool included).

​

For ease, pickup can be arranged at 11:00 AM the next morning for a peaceful, stress-free start to the retreat journey.

(Airport-area accommodations and local transfers are not included.)

​

Staying After

​

Many participants choose to stay a little longer — even 1–3 days — to:

Integrate insights

Sit with what’s unfolding

Walk the gardens and river path at your own pace

Enjoy the saltwater pool, mountain views, and birds

Gently re-enter daily life

 

It’s a beautiful way to deepen your transformation instead of rushing back into the noise of everyday responsibilities.

​

Preferred Rates for Retreat Guests

​

As space permits, preferred extended-stay rates are available for both early arrivals and extra nights following the retreat.

​

Airport Transfers

​

Shuttle service from the airport to Mango Valley is included for your retreat week arrival.

If you extend your stay, nominal transfer fees may apply for additional pickups or return trips.
